Does Winter Cause Prostatitis?

There are reasonably good data to show that environmental forces can cause prostatitis. What about the weather?

The Baltic Times, which focuses its coverage on Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, has run an article on its web site listing an array of seasonal illnesses ranging from psychosis to osteochondrosis. Along with this listing, it provides tips of diet and its role in disease prevention.

Among the various ailments, the article lists bladder inflammation, urethral inflammation, and prostatitis as consequences of cold wind, wet snow, wet feet, and lack of physical movement such as resulting from working in a sedentary environment. So the inquiring scientist, who does not reject clues potentially relevant to the epidemiology of prostatitis, asks: Are there any data to support this contention?
